    I realize this is old, but this helped me.

     

    This should cover everyone, even servers I believe. The number corresponds to the RDP session. 0=console and 1+2=other sessions. Depending on how you connect to your computer determines which session you use so running all 3 should work to disconnect everyone.

     

    Last line if optional if you want to lock screen.

     

    Paste all of this into bat file then run when you want to disconnect from RDP

     

    tscon 0 /dest:console
    tscon 1 /dest:console
    tscon 2 /dest:console
    Rundll32.exe User32.dll,LockWorkStation

It doesn't seem to work, even with Right-Click to Run as Admin. A command-prompt screen flashes up, disappears, then I get sent back to the desktop of the remote computer.

 

Nevertheless, I have found out that my router (ASUS RT-N56U) has its own VPN Server, which I can use after my provider replaces the hopeless modem/router with a pure modem, so hopefully I won't need to use Hamachi. But thanks for the hint anyway!

    I've got a solution that keeps Hamachi open and locks the workstation as well.

    The batch file command that uses "tscon 1 /dest:console" didn't work for me either. But a simple change to "tscon 0 /dest:console" fixed the issue. Try it on yours YW-Slayer. The number represents the sessionID. I'm not clear on how the ID is assigned or why there's a variance.

     

    As for the lock screen, the batch file just needs one more line of code:

    "Rundll32.exe User32.dll,LockWorkStation"

     

    So your batch file should look like this:

     

    tscon 0 /dest:console

    Rundll32.exe User32.dll,LockWorkStation

     

     

    Hope that clears it up for everyone! Cheers! And thanks robspcs for your legwork!

      I tried that, but it just brings up a command prompt, then goes back to the desktop. I am trying to use hamachi to play on a server created by my friend on unturned. (a video game on steam) It has been working fine until today.
